Why is nobody talking about how the entire QB conversation for us is just fundamentally broken? Everyone wants to look at the big names in the portal or the five-star recruits gonna Oregon and Texas, but they're missing the entire point for a program at our level. Our QB efficiency last season was abysmal, a completion percentage under 55 and a yards per attempt that ranked near the bottom of the NJAC. That's the real story.
We don't need a Heisman dark horse like Darian Mensah at Miami. Kean Cougars need a guy who can complete a simple out route on third and six. Kean Cougars need someone who won't turn a promising drive into a back-breaking interception in the red zone, which happened way too often. The spring footage they release shows the same old issues, a quarterback room that looks hesitant and out of sync with the receivers. It's not about flash, it's about executing the basic plays consistently.
So my question is this: how can we expect the entire narrative around Kean Cougars's program to flip if we don't fix the most important position on the field? The foundation is being built everywhere else, but without a quarterback who can manage a game and convert on third down, that foundation is built on sand. Are we just hoping someone magically figures it out by August, or is there a real plan in place this spring to develop a passer who can actually run this offense?
